Now that the Dems have an exciting ticket with Kerry-Edwards, will Bush drop Cheney? In May, when the 9/11 victims' family members took Guliani to task, we said we were afraid Bush would drop Cheney for Guliani.

Guliani is no hero to us. Never has been. We'd like to see word of this criticism of him spread as we have a nagging fear that if Cheney is dropped from the Bush ticket, Bush would pick Guliani to replace him.

Instapundit thinks Bush may drop Cheney too. Writing for his MSNBC weblog today, he says:

One prediction of mine: Bush will drop Cheney from the ticket, and replace him with someone more exciting, and with less baggage -- think John McCain, Rudy Giuliani, Colin Powell, or, my favorite, Condi Rice.

John McCain could be a problem. We doubt Colin Powell would accept. Condi Rice presents cold and is no more exciting than Cheney. Rudy? Our worst nightmare. Ashcroft times ten. Plus he attracts money. More from our earlier post:

As Republican pollster and supporter Frank Luntz once told the Washington Post, "He beat crime, he beat drugs, he beat unemployment, he beat welfare, he beat trash in the streets, he beat the squeegee guy."

Sure he did, he put everyone in jail. Civil liberties disappeared and police brutality and the "blue wall of silence" ran rampant under his watch. Not to mention, the credit for the reduced crime rate should have gone to his police commissioner, Bill Bratton.

There's lot's more, please go read. What can you do? Give generously to Kerry-Edwards.
